Abstract
Nanographene C222, which consists of a planar graphenic plane containing 222 carbon atoms, holds the record as the largest planar nanographene synthesized to date. However, its complete insolubility makes the processing of C222 difficult. Here we addressed this issue by introducing peripheral substituents perpendicular to the graphene plane, effectively disrupting the interlayer stacking and endowing C222 with good solubility. We also found that the electron-withdrawing substituents played a crucial role in the cyclodehydrogenation process, converting the dendritic polyphenylene precursor to C222. After disrupting the interlayer stacking, the introduction of only a few peripheral carboxylic groups allowed C222 to dissolve in phosphate buffer saline, reaching a concentration of up to 0.5 mg/mL. Taking advantage of the good photosensitizing and photothermal properties of the inner C222 core, the resulting water-soluble C222 emerged as a single-component agent for both photothermal and photodynamic tumor therapy, exhibiting an impressive tumor inhibition rate of 96%.

Abstract
The rise of interest in using polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and molecular graphenoids in optoelectronics has recently stimulated the growth of modern synthetic methodologies giving access to intramolecular aryl-aryl couplings. Here, we show that a radical-based annulation protocol allows expansion of the planarization approaches to prepare functionalized molecular graphenoids. The enabler of this reaction is peri-xanthenoxanthene, the photocatalyst which undergoes photoinduced single electron transfer with an ortho-oligoarylenyl precursor bearing electron-withdrawing and nucleofuge groups. Dissociative electron transfer enables the formation of persistent aryl radical intermediates, the latter undergoing intramolecular C-C bond formation, allowing the planarization reaction to occur. The reaction conditions are mild and compatible with various electron-withdrawing and -donating substituents on the aryl rings as well as heterocycles and PAHs. The method could be applied to induce double annulation reactions, allowing the synthesis of π-extended scaffolds with different edge peripheries.

Abstract
Most of the reported covalent organic frameworks (COFs) so far are prepared from highly symmetric building blocks, which to some extent limits the expansion of COF diversity and complexity. Low-symmetric building blocks can be designed through a desymmetrized vertex strategy, which might be used to construct new topological COFs. But reports of COFs constructed by asymmetric building blocks are thus far very rare. Here, a feasible strategy to design asymmetric building blocks for COF synthesis is introduced, by simply varying the positions of functional groups in the monomer. As a proof of concept, two isomeric hexaphenylbenzene-based "two-in-one" type monomers (1,2,4-HPB-NH2 and 1,3,5-HPB-NH2 ) are designed and synthesized. To the authors' surprise, self-polycondensation of the asymmetric 1,2,4-HPB-NH2 (i.e., the isomer of common C3 -symmetric 1,3,5-HPB-NH2 ) also affords highly crystalline COF (1,2,4-HPB-COF) similar to the symmetric 1,3,5-HPB-NH2 counterpart with identical topological structure. The triangular porous structures of both HPB-based COFs are well resolved by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), theoretical simulations, nitrogen sorption, and morphologies analysis. This work demonstrates the "two-in-one" type asymmetric building blocks can also produce highly crystalline frameworks and thus provides a new structural design strategy for reticular chemistry.

Abstract
Thin films of four discotic liquid-crystalline hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) derivatives carrying three diacetylenic side chains and three saturated alkyl chains at different positions around the central HBC core were prepared on phenyltrichlorosilane-modified SiO2 substrate by the Chinese brush-coating method. The brush-coated films of molecules with D3h symmetry and C1 symmetry all exhibited anisotropic alignment with an edge-on orientation and molecular π-π stacking along the coating direction on the surface, in contrast to the spin-coated films, where a mixture of face-on and edge-on orientations was obtained. Hexagonally packed columnar structure or lamella-like columnar structure was obtained, depending on the location of the diacetylenic unit along the chain. UV irradiation of the films resulted in cross-linking/polymerization of the molecular columns. Among them, the lamella-like structure with a diacetylene unit closer to the HBC core gave more closely packed and ordered HBC arrays with the poly(ene-yne) backbones stretching along the column direction, based on a variety of experimental evidence. A thin-film transistor based on this irradiated film gave a highest mobility of 1.5 cm2 V-1 s-1 along the column direction, which is a 3 orders of magnitude improvement over that of the monomeric film. However, for those with a diacetylenic unit extended farther away from the core, cross-linking between neighboring columns was suggested to occur and no mobility can be measured for devices based on those films.

Abstract
We have designed and synthesized two new achiral hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) derivatives, HBCCE and HBCTEG-CE , which bear the crown ether as the pendant for the amino acid binding site. The HBCCE self-assembled into a racemic mixture of P- and M-handed helical nanocoils, however, in the presence of chiral amino acid guests, it formed helical nanocoils with one-handed screw sense. The effects of the concentration, type and configuration of the guests on the induced circular dichroism (ICD) during the co-assembly of HBCCE with chiral amino acids were also investigated. Additionally, after complete removal of the chiral guests, the optically active nanocoils did not racemize, even in the presence of excess amino acids with the opposite configuration. In contrast, HBCTEG-CE with a long triethylene glycol (TEG) chain between the crown ether group and the HBC unit did not exhibit ICD during the co-assembly with chiral amino acids.

Abstract
The facile Chinese brush-coating method was used to prepare oriented thin films of hexa- peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) derivatives on the silicon substrate. As a result of the directional solution-coating, the D3 h-symmetry (HBC-1,3,5-Ph-C12) and the C1-symmetry (HBC-1,2,4-Ph-C12) derivatives displayed an anisotropic alignment, with mostly edge-on orientation on SiO2 surfaces modified with various silane-based monolayers. On these silane-modified surfaces, the higher symmetry molecule HBC-1,3,5-Ph-C12 developed a hexagonally packed superstructure, which provided greater π orbital overlap and presumably the electronic coupling between neighboring molecules. In particular, the use of an octyltrichlorosilane (OTS)-modified surface enabled brush-coated thin films to have higher anisotropic orientation, crystallinity, and favorable molecular arrangement. In contrast, the growth of the hexagonal packing of low-symmetry derivative HBC-1,2,4-Ph-C12 was only achieved on the phenyltrichlorosilane and OTS surfaces. Thin-film transistors based on these brush-coated films gave a maximum mobility of 0.1 and 0.056 cm2 V-1 s-1, which are 2 orders of magnitude improvement over the devices with unoriented films prepared by spin-coating. The results indicate that the molecular packing of discotic liquid crystals on the silane-modified surface is sensitively influenced by the molecular symmetry, which affects intermolecular interactions as well as molecule/surface interactions. This study provides a simple way to fabricate aligned films for HBC derivatives for transistor application.

Abstract
Tertiary phosphines remain widely utilized in synthesis, most notably as supporting ligands in metal complexes. A series of triarylphosphines bearing one to three hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) substituents has been prepared by an efficient divergent route. These "superphenylphosphines", P{HBC(t-Bu)5}nPh3-n (n = 1-3), form the palladium complexes PdCl2L2 and Pd2Cl4L2 where the isomer distribution in solution is dependent on the number of HBC substituents. The crystalline structures of five complexes all show intramolecular π-stacking between HBC-phosphines to form a supramolecular bidentate-like ligand that distorts the metal coordination geometry. When n = 2 or 3, the additional HBC substituents engage in intermolecular π-stacking to assemble the complexes into continuous ribbons or sheets. The phosphines adopt HBC's characteristics including strong optical absorption, green emission, and redox activity.

Abstract
The self-assembly of a series of dehydro[24]annulene derivatives into columnar stacks has been examined for its latent ability to form π-conjugated carbon-rich nanotubular structures through topochemical polymerizations. We have studied the parameters affecting self-assembly, including the nature of the substituent and crystallization conditions, using 10 different dehydro[24]annulene derivatives. In particular, hydrogen-bonding interactions through carbamate groups were found to be especially useful at directing the formation of nanotubular supramolecular assemblies. We have also evaluated the electronic coupling between neighboring dehydroannulene molecules within these supramolecular assemblies. Density functional calculations on the stacked supramolecular nanotube assemblies show that transfer integrals vary considerably between the three columnar assemblies, ranging from moderate to high (59-98 meV for the highest occupied molecular orbitals, 63-97 meV for the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals), depending on the local molecular topology. In addition, the dehydro[24]annulene derivatives afforded distinct architectures in the crystal, including nanochannel arrays, sheets with solvent-filled pores, and lamellae. This work is an essential step toward a controlled formation of covalently linked carbon-rich nanostructures generated from molecular precursors with a latent diacetylene reactivity.

Abstract
Arrays of broadly cross-reactive sensors are key elements of smart, self-training sensing systems. Chemically sensitive resistors and quartz-crystal microbalance (QCM) sensors are attractive for sensing applications that involve detection and classification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the gas phase. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivatives as sensing materials can provide good sensitivity and robust selectivity towards different polar and nonpolar VOCs, while being quite tolerant to large humidity variations. Here, we present a comparative study of chemiresistor and QCM arrays based on a set of custom-designed PAH derivatives having either purely nonpolar coronas or alternating nonpolar and strongly polar side chain termination. The arrays were exposed to various concentrations of representative polar and nonpolar VOCs under extremely varying humidity conditions (5-80% RH). The sensor arrays' classification ability of VOC polarity, chemical class and compound separation was explained in terms of the sensing characteristics of the constituent sensors and their interaction with the VOCs. The results presented here contribute to the development of novel versatile and cost-effective real-world VOC sensing platforms.

Abstract
Free-standing nanomembranes with molecular or atomic thickness are currently explored for separation technologies, electronics, and sensing. Their engineering with well-defined structural and functional properties is a challenge for materials research. Here we present a broadly applicable scheme to create mechanically stable carbon nanomembranes (CNMs) with a thickness of ~0.5 to ~3 nm. Monolayers of polyaromatic molecules (oligophenyls, hexaphenylbenzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) were assembled and exposed to electrons that cross-link them into CNMs; subsequent pyrolysis converts the CNMs into graphene sheets. In this transformation the thickness, porosity, and surface functionality of the nanomembranes are determined by the monolayers, and structural and functional features are passed on from the molecules through their monolayers to the CNMs and finally on to the graphene. Our procedure is scalable to large areas and allows the engineering of ultrathin nanomembranes by controlling the composition and structure of precursor molecules and their monolayers.

Abstract
We show that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) based field effect transistor (FET) arrays can serve as excellent chemical sensors for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) under confounding humidity conditions. Using these sensors, w/o complementary pattern recognition methods, we study the ability of PAH-FET(s) to: (i) discriminate between aromatic and non-aromatic VOCs; (ii) distinguish polar and non-polar non-aromatic compounds; and to (iii) identify specific VOCs within the subgroups (i.e., aromatic compounds, polar non-aromatic compounds, non-polar non-aromatic compounds). We further study the effect of water vapor on the sensor array's discriminative ability and derive patterns that are stable when exposed to different constant values of background humidity. Patterns based on different independent electronic features from an array of PAH-FETs may bring us one step closer to creating a unique fingerprint for individual VOCs in real-world applications in atmospheres with varying levels of humidity.

Abstract
Real-world samples contain reducing and oxidizing chemical agents as well as large and small (bio)molecules, which are polar or nonpolar in nature. Sensing nonpolar analytes, which is of paramount importance for a wide variety of applications, is generally more difficult to achieve than sensing polar analytes. Here, we report on empirical observations of a unique polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon derivative, referred as PAH-A, whose structure has a triangular-shaped aromatic core (with a carbon number of 60) and contains hydrophobic mesogens terminated with hydrophobic alkyl chains. We show that films made of PAH-A enable excellent sensitivity to nonpolar analytes, compared to polar analytes, in a setting of 5-40% counteracting relative humidity. This finding is based on monitoring the changes in the physical/optical properties of thin PAH-A films upon exposure to nonpolar and polar analytes, by means of quartz crystal microbalance and spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements. A comparison with other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon derivatives with different cores or organic functionalities is provided and discussed.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are in a class of functional organic compounds with increasing importance in organic electronics. Their tunable photophysical properties and typically strong intermolecular associations make them ideal materials in applications where control of charge mobility is essential. Hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (HBC) is a disc-shaped PAH that self-associates into columnar stacks through strong π–π interactions. By decorating the periphery of the HBC molecule with various substituents, a range of properties and functions can be obtained including solution processability, liquid crystallinity, and semiconductivity. In this review article, the synthesis, properties, and functions of HBC derivatives are presented with focus on work published in the last five years.

Abstract
A cross-reactive array of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and single wall carbon nanotube bilayers was designed for the detection of volatile organic compounds (tentatively, hexanal and 5-methyl-undecane) that identify the presence of disease in the exhaled breath of patients with multiple sclerosis. The sensors showed excellent discrimination between hexanal, 5-methyl-undecane, and other confounding volatile organic compounds. Results obtained from a clinical study consisting of 51 volunteers showed that the sensors could discriminate between multiple sclerosis and healthy states from exhaled breath samples with 85.3% sensitivity, 70.6% specificity, and 80.4% accuracy. These results open new frontiers in the development of a fast, noninvasive, and inexpensive medical diagnostic tool for the detection and identification of multiple sclerosis. The results could serve also as a launching pad for the discrimination between different subphases or stages of multiple sclerosis as well as for the identification of multiple sclerosis patients who would respond well to immunotherapy.

Abstract
In the present work, we introduce a cross-reactive array of synthetically designed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) bilayers and demonstrate the huge potential of the array in discriminating between polar and nonpolar volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as well as between the different VOCs from each subgroup. Using appropriate combinations of PAH/SWCNT sensors, we demonstrate that high sensitivity and accuracy values can be obtained for discriminating polar and nonpolar VOCs in samples with variable humidity levels (5-80% RH). The same array of sensors exhibited self-learning capabilities that facilitated exchanging information about environmental properties under observation. The results presented here could lead to the development of a cost-effective, lightweight, low-power, and non-invasive tool for a widespread detection of VOCs in real-world environmental, security, food, health, and other applications.

Abstract
Discotic supramolecular complexes bearing six perylene bisimide (PBI) chromophores were prepared by mixing monotopically triple-hydrogen-bonding melamines equipped with two PBI chromophores and two 3,7-dimethyloctyl chiral handles with tritopically triple-hydrogen-bonding cyanuric acid (CA). UV/Vis and fluorescence titration experiments demonstrated that the discotic complexes were formed in methylcyclohexane by the 3:1 complexation between the melamines and CA. TEM and AFM studies revealed that the complexes hierarchically organize into fibrous columnar assemblies, which eventually results in the formation of organogels. Circular dichroism (CD) and flash-photolysis time resolved microwave conductivity measurements revealed the presence of extended chiral stacks of PBI chromophores within the columns. The anisotropy factors of the columnar assemblies are remarkably high (g=1.5×10(-3)) when considering the presence of only one 3,7-dimethyloctyl chiral handle per perylene chromophore, suggesting that the columnar structures have a biased helical sense. The fact that the chiral centers are located inside the discotic complexes rather than at their peripheries might be unique structural property responsible for the rather strong optical activities for the assemblies of this chromophore. The effective transcription of the molecular chirality to the extended columnar assemblies through the formation of unique discotic complexes enables the expression of "majority-rules" chiral amplification effect, which is unprecedented for the supramolecular assemblies of PBIs.

Abstract
Temperature-enhanced solvent vapor annealing (TESVA) is used to self-assemble functionalized polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules into ordered macroscopic layers and crystals on solid surfaces. A novel C3 symmetric hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene functionalized with alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic side chains is used as a model system since its multivalent character can be expected to offer unique self-assembly properties and behavior in different solvents. TESVA promotes the molecule's long-range mobility, as proven by their diffusion on a Si/SiO(x) surface on a scale of hundreds of micrometers. This leads to self-assembly into large, ordered crystals featuring an edge-on columnar type of arrangement, which differs from the morphologies obtained using conventional solution-processing methods such as spin-coating or drop-casting. The temperature modulation in the TESVA makes it possible to achieve an additional control over the role of hydrodynamic forces in the self-assembly at surfaces, leading to a macroscopic self-healing within the adsorbed film notably improved as compared to conventional solvent vapor annealing. This surface re-organization can be monitored in real time by optical and atomic force microscopy.

Abstract
The effects of functional group position on the phase behavior of discotic mesogens was examined for a series of dibenzophenazine derivatives bearing a carboxylic acid, methyl carboxylate, or nitro group. In all cases, changing the position of the group from the "top" to the "side" of the aromatic core led to dramatic differences in the phase behavior, both in terms of the stability of the liquid crystalline phases as well as the types of mesophases formed. For the non-hydrogen bonding ester and nitro derivatives, moving the substituent to the side of the core led to a lowering of the clearing temperatures or loss of liquid crystallinity. Carboxylic acid derivatives exhibit broad mesophases irrespective of the position of the acid group, but mesogens bearing this group on the side of the core exclusively form Col(h) phases, whereas those with an acid group on the top of the core exhibit more varied mesomorphism, with the formation of Col(h), Col(r), and nematic phases. Contrary to expectations, the presence of a carboxylic acid group on the side of the core does not appear to lead to the formation of dimeric structures in the liquid crystalline phase, although the columnar structures appear to be stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonding along the columns. These derivatives also form pi-stacked dimers in solution; the structure of these dimers are consistent with the proposed structure of the columnar phases.
